Formulaic Language and the Lexicon
Alison Wray, Cardiff University, Wales
A considerable proportion of our everyday language is "formulaic". It
is predictable in form and idiomatic--apparently stored in fixed or
semi-y"ixed chunks. This book explores the nature and purposes of
formulaic language, únd looks for patterns across the research
findings from the fields of ýiscourse analysis, first language
acquisition, language pathology and applied linguistics. It gradually
builds up a unified description and explanation y"f formulaic language
as a linguistic solution to a larger, non-linguistic, problem, the
promotion of self.

A Thematic Guide to Optimality Theory
John J. McCarthy, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
This book describes Optimality Theory from the top down, explaining
and exploring the central premises of OT and the results of their
praxis. Examples are drawn from phonology, morphology, and syntax,
but the emphasis throughout is on the theory rather than the examples,
on understanding what is special about OT and on equipping readers to
apply it, extend it, and critique it in their own areas of interest.
The book's coverage extends to work on first- and second-language
acquisition, phonetics and functional phonology, computational
linguistics, historical linguistics, and sociolinguistics. Chapters
conclude with extensive suggestions for further reading, classified by
topic, and are supplemented by a massive bibliography (over 800
items).
Contents:
An Overview of Optimality Theory; 1: Core; Basic Architecture;
Constraint Typology; Modes of Interaction; Illustration; 2: Context;
Classic Generative Phonology; Conspiracies; Representations and
Constraints on Representations; Other Constraint Theories (TCRS, DP,
etc.); 3: Results; Endogenous Constraints; Consequences of
Markedness/Faithfulness Interaction; Consequences of Constraint
Violability; Consequences of Parallelism; 4: Connections; Learnability
and Acquisition; Parsing; Morphology and the Lexicon; Syntax and
Semantics; Language Variation and Change; 5: Issues and Prospects;
Functionalism; Opacity; Serial OT; Local Conjunction; "Overkill";
Other Topics.
